Planet Rock’s Rocktober has been postponed until October 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Presented in association with The Gig Cartel, Planet Rock’s Rocktober will now take place at Bristol O2 Academy on Saturday 16th October 2021 and Sheffield O2 Academy on Saturday 23rd October 2021.

The good news is that the mighty Kenny Wayne Shepherd will still headline with British blues rockers King King and hard rock powerhouses JOANovARC also on the bill. Due to scheduling, Massive Wagons can sadly no longer perform, so we will be announcing the special guests at a later date.

All original tickets remain valid for the shows, so keep hold of them if you can! Refunds are also available from the point of purchase.

The new Planet Rock’s Rocktober dates are as follows:

OCTOBER 2021

Bristol O2 Academy – Sat 16th

Sheffield O2 Academy – Sat 23rd
